Cool cop photo by Calamur on Flickr who generously allowed the use of her photos although they were CC Non-commercial license. Harshad Sharma (@Hiway) also sent a bunch of cop photos, which I have kept in reserve. Punched cow photo by Adam Jones on Flickr, CC Attrib/Remix license. Original cow is not punched. Thank you everyone, who donates photos.

The comments sound very interesting; I could read only the comments posted here not the comic since it is in picture format. Sounds funny & interesting. Perhaps you could publish comics in a format which is accessible with screen reader softwares used by visually impaired computer users? This would enable us also to become a part of the funny comic world.

Cuty_gem: I never thought of doing that. But since I already write the script of the comic before making it, it makes sense to include the full text as the alt text for the comic image. Will be doing this from now on. Meanwhile, here’s the script of the comic:

The truth about cows on the road:

FAQ:
Q- Will I see cows on the roads in India
A- YES. But contrary to popular belief it’s not because cows are considered sacred. It’s because of a lack of giving-a-fuck. Here’s how it happens:

A cow sits in the middle of the road.

Car driving dude comes along:
I see a cow sitting in the middle of the road. If I stand in front of it and honk repeatedly it might get up and move to the side. This will clear the road for the other drivers also.

BUT… I’m in a hurry to get home.. all that porn won’t watch itself! I’ll just go around it, and besides I dont give a fuck.

Traffic police guy comes along:
My cop senses tell me a cow has sat in the middle of the road. This might disrupt traffic. I should get the cow to move to the side of the road with all the other animals. BUT… I see the cars are managing quite well by driving around the cow, and besides these cow owners arent going to bribe themselves, and turn a blind eye to the road-cow-fact. Hence, no fuck shall be given by me.

Municipal Corporation guy comes along:
I see some cows standing on the road there. It’s my duty to hire some cow catchers and clear the roads, but the last time it happened the animals rights people started foaming at their collective mouths. Besides the local politician started running around calling for a ban against cow slaughter, screaming Jai Hind, with his dick hanging out… even though the cows were being shifted to a shelter. AND.. since the traffic police guy is already there it’s HIS problem now.. Me? I don’t give a fuck.

Foreigner visiting India to do good and save the poverty stricken
Oh, I see a cow has sat down in the middle of the road there. I should probably get it to move, since it’s blocking the traffic, forcing cars to swerve past it. On top of that the traffic police and the NDMC is not doing anything. It is only UP TO ME TO FIX THE PROBLEMS OF THIS COUNTRY.

BUT… the cow is considered sacred here. If you move it, it might offend people. Hence, we shall do nothing.

But we’ll take photos of it?

For real! LOLcows.com won’t fill itself…

The Cow thinking..
Maybe i’m obstructing traffic.. but no one else seems to be bothered.. So i dont give a fuck… oh wait, dung is coming out. PLOP. Ahh, exceptional!

Vegetable Vendor
Ah. The cow. Such a gentle creature… gives us milk and cheese, and all it wants in return is love and…

Hi Saad,
This is your return to form. The last comic was average by your standards, but this marks your comeback. I had given you a 2.5 in the last one, but this comics deserved a full 5.
But can you please tell me why was Agony Uncle necessary in this comic? Or was it just for increasing the length? (In any case, the comic was of good quality as you promised in the comments on the previous comic)

Roshan: Agony uncle was needed to form the premise of the cow-enquiry. Initially I had planned to make 3 comics on commonwealth. This was taking too long, so I published the lame CWG comic first. Now the 3rd one is not needed because it’s lamer, and too many CWG comic anyway.

This one was the funniest. I think Agony Uncle was a really nice start for this comic.
MOAR!
Also, not to be a dick but.. the cop scene features the cows in the middle of the road in Delhi but the cop is pandu havaldar from Maharashtra.

@ganesh: Dude OMG! You’re my hero! I whacked it off Reddit for sure, but I didn’t know who coined the term. The mental imagery of a ultra nationalist asshole running around screaming jai hind with his shwang hanging out is beautiful. I wish I could draw, so I could hang a poster of it in my room.
Multiple upbotes for your contribution!

Hi, we in Australia also have a cow in the middle of the road problem.
But sadly, Kangaroos as well.
I’m not sure which is worse. Cows, they shit all over your car when you hit them, then you must stick a pick in their heads to stop them from mooing in agony.
Kangaroos, appear suddenly in front of you from nowhere, bend your car, come uninvited through the windscreen, become an unpleasant, unwilling passenger, tear your upholstery to shreads, tear you to shreds, kick the door open and hop away.

the cow has sat is wrong as the cow is in the act of sitting and thus usage should not be of past tense but of present progressive. direct result of lack of fuck giving in english class. redditor hi five. Y U NO know grammer.

Wonderful blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Thank you!

About this comic

An Indian webcomic about Life, and its Irritations. There are no stories, no characters, no songs, no Saases and no Bahus. There’s not much humor or artistic ability either. A new comic every few days. Read More...

News Channels: You will NOT show my comics on TV without permission. Read the first point again, you are a COMMERCIAL enterprise. I don't make these to provide you with screen fillers while you babble on about your limited understanding of social media, accompanied by porn rock in the background.
